IntroductionThe world around us is full of color - brilliant blues, pretty pinks and lovely reds - except it's not . The sun causes all colors visible to the human eye by absorbing all the colors of the rainbow onto colorless particles, except for the only visible color (Van & Khouw, n.d.). Unfortunately, there is no uniformity in the world of color. One man's red is another woman's orange, but why? Many factors affect color perception, but is innate gender difference one of them? According to the research done so far in this area of ​​study, gender is indeed a factor in the perception of color shades. The research and studies carried out focus on three main areas. The evolution of color perception eventually led to practical differences between the sexes. Many studies have also shown that men and women react differently to color. Many physical differences such as those in the retina have been discovered by scientists. BodyEvolution of color perception and gender differences Color vision is not a quality that evolved exclusively in humans. This ability existed more than three hundred million years ago, even before our vertebrate ancestors emerged from the oceans and onto dry land. The eye observes by converting light into nerve signals through the use of photoreceptors. A certain class of photoreceptors is responsible for color vision. They both detect light and discern certain wavelengths of light, also called colors. These color photoreceptors are generally called cones. They are correlated to different color wavelengths by means of a photopigment which is actually a type of protein called opsin. The opsin adjusts the color...... middle of paper ...... but color perception in the study of philosophy includes theories such as eliminativism, dispositionalism, ecological view, physicalism and primitivism. Dispositionalism is most often associated with "the 17th century English philosopher John Locke [...]. In Lockean terminology, dispositionalism is the idea that colors are secondary qualities. A simple version of dispositionalism is: the yellow property = the disposition to appear yellow to typical human beings in daylight” (Byrne and Hilbert, 2000). Physical and cognitive differences in color perception are the product of a long evolutionary process. After a plethora of research and surveys, scientists have determined that gender does indeed affect color perception; however, the extent to which perception is affected and the factors that affect color vision need to be examined in more detail..
